By clicking on the Multistate Charts© link above you can download an Excel tool to quickly find accurate and up-to-date information regarding Delaware’s status among the states in an array of subject areas. Using the Multistate Charts© tool you can view Delaware’s rank on any particular indicator and compare it with those of any group of up to 19 other states as well as to the top or the bottom ranked states, or to the states most similar to Delaware. Unfortunately the Excel tool does not work well with older versions of Excel. If you find that it does not work for you, you may need to upgrade your Excel program to be able to use Multi-State Charts ©
